Auditor's Office Releases Report on the Cost of Illegal Immigration to Taxpayers

The report shows spending on education, healthcare, and public safety drives this cost. Mississippi taxpayers annually pay around:

$25 million to educate illegal immigrants in K-12 public schools
$77 million to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants and their children
$1.7 million to incarcerate illegal immigrants

The full report titled “How Illegal Immigration Hurts Taxpayers” can be found on the “Reports” tab on the Auditor’s website and searching “immigration.”
